    Spray 'N Wash applied with a toothbrush or a scrub brush (plus some elbow grease) worked great - without damaging the surface.

    I put baking soda on the kid's crayon stained table, and my son's workbench. I then placed water on a toothbrush and scrubbed the tables. The crayon stains came off. You just saved me from going out and buying stuff I didn't have to buy!

    Use ordinary hand lotion and apply to the crayoned spot with your fingers. Rub gently and voil, no more crayon. Then use warm soapy water to get the lotion off.

    The hair dryer works great on new drawings but not so hot on old drawings.

    Remove crayon from walls, floors, toys, etc. with WD-40. Spray the area w/WD-40. Scrub a little w/a cloth, then use a cleanser or soapy water and wipe clean. Test a small area first. It also works for removing gum, scuff marks, tape, and old adhesive.

    A crayon melted in the dryer and I had crayon on all of our jeans. I sprayed the area with non-stick cooking spray, then covered with newspaper and ironed it. If there was a little spot left, I scrubbed it out with a toothbrush.

    Spray on WD-40 lubricant. Wipe off. From Crayola Web site. It really works!

    All you need is a piece of bread. It takes a little elbow grease, but no chemicals are involved! My daughter scribbled on our piano and after rubbing the spot with pieces of bread, it came out!!!

    I just used this method, and it totally removed a large crayon "drawing" (which was created by my two year old girl). Just apply a little liquid candle wax remover to a dry rag and re-apply it a few times a minute. Keep it moist. Just wipe it along the crayon marks, and they should come off easily. Even the darkest, worst marks will come right off. After you've removed the marks, get a damp rag with a little soap and water and lightly wash the wall to remove any remaining residue (there shouldn't be any, though). Allow it to air-dry. This is MUCH safer for you and your kids than spraying WD40 in your house.

    We used a combination of the hair dryer and a dryer sheet - it worked great! - and the whole house smelled fresh and static-free!

    Rub the wall with a dryer sheet, such as Bounce.

    Folding a dryer sheet to form a pad and then applying hand lotion to the pad works great. Move it in small circular motions and the marks come out easily. Then wipe the wall lightly with a damp soapy sponge to remove the lotion.
